Hi TortoiseForum!
We are very proud new owners of a baby Sulcata (born Sept 2012) named Montezuma - Monty for short.
We live in MA, and Monty was shipped from ATC. This forum has been very helpful as we've been learning how to take care of him!
His setup:
container: Large under-bed tupperware
substrate: one side cypress mulch, other side coco coir & sphagnum peat moss
light: Zoo Med PowerSun UV Mercury Vapor Lamp 100 Watts
heat: Ceramic Heat Emitter
food: spring mix (- spinach), ZooMed Grasslands (still working on getting him to actually eat this), Assortment of grasses, greens, weeds, succulents, and cacti
humidity: we soak him twice daily, mist his container frequently, and have a moss-filled humid hide box (which he never wants to go in. he prefers his log hideout)
